The Week 10 clash between the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0and\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0at\u00a0Lambeau Field\u00a0on November 10, 2025, ended with a tight score of\u00a0Eagles 10 – 7 Packers. But it wasn\u2019t the scoreboard that had fans talking, it was a\u00a0controversial Tush Push play\u00a0that many believe showed\u00a0referee favoritism toward the Eagles.<\/p>\n
Midway through the second half, the Eagles ran their trademark \u201cBrotherly Shove,\u201d with quarterback\u00a0Jalen Hurts\u00a0being pushed forward by his offensive line on a crucial 4th & 1. Slow-motion replay showed\u00a0Jordan Mailata\u00a0and\u00a0Lane Johnson\u00a0clearly\u00a0moving early before the snap, which should have resulted in a\u00a0false start penalty, but no flag was thrown.<\/p>\n
The play succeeded, extending the Eagles\u2019 drive, and they later scored a field goal, the decisive points of the 10-7 victory.<\/p>\n
On his\u00a0New Heights\u00a0podcast, Eagles legend\u00a0Jason Kelce, one of the masterminds behind the Tush Push, stunned fans by\u00a0admitting that the referees might have favored his former team.<\/p>\n
\u201cEagles won, and of course I\u2019m happy for that. But to be honest, if the refs had called everything fair, we probably wouldn\u2019t have beaten the Packers. That\u2019s just the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kelce explained that the\u00a0Tush Push is extremely difficult to officiate, as it happens in a split second with multiple players moving simultaneously. He emphasized that there was\u00a0no intentional cheating, but rather that \u201csometimes the rules can\u2019t keep up with the chaos of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not about cheating, it\u2019s about the chaos of that moment. If the refs missed it, it\u2019s because the play happens too fast. But yeah\u2026 it was a missed call.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Kelce\u2019s remarks, major NFL accounts like\u00a0@MLFootball\u00a0and\u00a0@TomPelissero\u00a0reposted the controversial clip.<\/p>\n
MLFootball wrote:\u00a0\u201cRefs never call false start on Eagles. Unreal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Tom Pelissero added:\u00a0<\/p>\n Packers fans exploded with anger, accusing the NFL of\u00a0\u201cprotecting\u201d the Eagles\u00a0because of their success with the Tush Push, while Eagles fans defended the team, saying\u00a0Green Bay got similar no-calls earlier in the game.<\/p>\n Analysts like\u00a0Rich Eisen\u00a0and\u00a0Dan Orlovsky\u00a0joined the debate, calling it\u00a0\u201ca wake-up call for the league\u201d<\/em>\u00a0since\u00a0false starts are not reviewable, even when they directly impact the result.<\/p>\n Two clear false starts\u00a0by Eagles offensive linemen went uncalled in the second half.<\/p>\n A\u00a0blatant holding\u00a0by Lane Johnson was ignored during a key fourth-quarter drive.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Packers, however, were flagged for\u00a0offside\u00a0on a nearly identical sneak attempt by Jordan Love.<\/p>\n These calls, or lack thereof, convinced fans that\u00a0the Eagles were given the benefit of the doubt. Ironically, the\u00a0Packers were the very team that proposed banning the Tush Push during the NFL Rules Committee meeting earlier this year.<\/p>\n THE REFS SOMEHOW MISS A FALSE START EVERY TIME THE #EAGLES RUN THE TUSH PUSH\u2026<\/p>\n Anytime any other team runs the play it is automatically called for a false start.<\/p>\n Toward the end of the interview, Kelce delivered a statement that shook the football world:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll always love the Eagles, but football\u2019s about fairness. You can\u2019t win on missed calls forever. It\u2019s not who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n His words resonated with both Eagles supporters and critics, a moment of honesty from a player who built his legacy on integrity, toughness, and truth.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Eagles\u2019 10-7 win over the Packers\u00a0will be remembered not just for the score, but for\u00a0Jason Kelce\u2019s rare honesty\u00a0in acknowledging what many suspected, that the officials\u2019 leniency may have tilted the game.<\/p>\n Kelce didn\u2019t blame the referees or his former teammates; instead, he issued\u00a0a reminder about integrity in the sport, something he believes the NFL must protect at all costs.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe we won because of a missed call today, but if we don\u2019t learn from it, someday we\u2019ll lose for the same reason.\u201d<\/p>\n The New York Jets have been one of the worst teams in the league all season and it seems like they’re going to be closer to landing the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft than they will be to finishing the season at .500 or above.<\/p>\n At the trade deadline, the Jets opted to shock the entire NFL world by making a few huge trades. After trading cornerback Michael Carter II earlier in the month of October, the Jets opted to trade Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts and Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys at the deadline.<\/p>\n The Jets are clearly leaning harder into their rebuild than anybody seemed to believe they would. These two big trades likely set the team back an additional year or two, but it sets their future up quite a bit as they added a slew of draft picks. But the Jets need to fill the massive voids left in their lineup by these two star defenders.<\/p>\n Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox recently suggested rookie cornerback Azareye’h Thomas could be the\u00a0Jets’ biggest breakout player\u00a0down the final stretch of this season.<\/p>\n “The New York Jets are planning for their future, as evidenced by their deadline trades of Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner. With the latter now with the Colts, New York needs someone new to become a difference-maker in the secondary,” Knox wrote. “Azareye’h Thomas has a chance to be that guy. The rookie out of Florida State has started each of the Jets’ past two games and logged a pass deflection in three straight games.”<\/p>\n Thomas didn’t seem like he was going to get a lot of playing time this season as the Jets had Gardner, Brandon Stephens, Carter, and swung a trade for Jarvis Brownlee. But after trading Carter and Gardner, Thomas is being trusted in a much bigger role.<\/p>\n Thomas has all the traits of a potential star. He’s quick and athletic with solid coverage skills. He’s likely going to be trusted in a starting role down the stretch. The Jets should quickly be able to find out if he’s going to stick in the starting lineup long term. From what we’ve seen, Thomas has star written all over him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Week 10 clash between the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0and\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0at\u00a0Lambeau Field\u00a0on November 10, 2025, ended with a tight score of\u00a0Eagles 10 – 7 Packers.
